Did You Know? If 13 or more holes
are played, the player must post an 18-hole score. If 7 to 12 holes are
played, the player must post a nine-hole score. In either case, scores
for un-played holes must be recorded as par plus any handicap strokes
that the player is entitled to receive on the un-played holes (See
Section 4-2 and 5-1a of the USGA Handicap System manual). For more information, the USGA has the entire Handicap Manual available on-line. For more information log onto the USGA web site at WWW.USGA.ORG or the Royal and Ancient at WWW.RANDA.ORG and take the rules test

The Marketing Committee would like everyone to know that Business cards and Bag Tags alone can’t bring in new members. We still need each of you to be bold enough to talk to your friends and people you meet at your regular golf courses about our group. NIMAGA has a place for all skill levels so please tell your friends and pass out the cards to people you meet. If you have any ideas about Marketing we have a committee who wants to hear from you.
For Your Info |

John Snow had a Double Eagle at the Balmoral Woods G.C.
on May 4th. On hole #12 a 465 yard par 5 he used a 5 wood for his
second shot for a 2. Very few double eagles have ever been reported
in NIMAGA.
Congratulations John!
Chris Reeves said the May Jamboree was his last as he is relocating to Minnesota. We will miss Chris's excellent play! Long time member Rich Williams has relocated to Florida. Rich was a standout in our old B division!
